38. AWOL
We were high school sweethearts together for seven years, even going to college and working together. When I left for the military, I never heard from her and assumed she had died. At graduation, she appeared cold and distant, claiming to be busy with two jobs and school. During my training, a friend informed me she had told everyone I broke up with her to have guilt-free casual encounters. Her sister discovered we were still together from a text. Despite her denials, I accessed our shared account and confirmed her infidelity. We eventually moved on, and she married her new boyfriend.
